I can't imagine test=# create type stat1 as (i1 int, i2 int, i3 int, t1 text); CREATE TYPE test=# create table stest(s1 stat1); CREATE TABLE test=# insert into stest values ((1,1,1,'t')); INSERT 0 1 test=# select * from stest; s1 ----------- (1,1,1,t) (1 row) being a big issue. You've got to create the tables, you can create the type while you're at it, right?
